TRILLANES TO SARA DUTERTE: I DIDN’T KNOW YOUR DAD WAS A ‘MURDERER’

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Thursday hit back at Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte for calling him and two other minority senators “opportunists” for seeking President Duterte’s help in the past for their political ambitions.

Trillanes claimed that when he approached Duterte in 2015, he still didn't know that the then mayor Davao City was involved in alleged crimes. Trillanes ran for vice president in the 2016 elections.

“Ang mga panunumbat ni Mayor Sara Duterte ay nung hindi ko pa kilalang mamamatay tao at magnanakaw ang tatay niyang si Presidente Duterte," Trillanes said in a statement.

“Iba na ngayon, alam ko na ang katotohanan,” he said.

“Di ba naisip ni Sara Duterte na di hamak na mas madaling maging oportunista sa pagsipsip ngayon kay Duterte imbes na kalabanin sya?” he said.

Sara, the daughter of President Duterte, lashed out at Tindig Pilipinas stalwarts Trillanes, Senators Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and Risa Hontiveros for supposedly being opportunists.

"Matanong ko lang, nung mga panahon na humingi kayo ng tulong, may isyu ba kayo sa governance ni PRD [President Rodrigo Duterte]? Wala. Ngayon na nanalo na siya? Meron. Hunger Games, Pilipinas: Plastic na, oportunista pa,” Mayor Sara Duterte in a facebook post.
